Waterfall at Lake Burton Info

Overlooking the 2,775-acre Lake Burton, Waterfall at Lake Burton is a gated golf community offering luxury homes in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Club membership to the Waterfall Club, located ‘inside the gates’ of Waterfall at Lake Burton, provides access to championship golf, the Mountain Lodge clubhouse, and Athletic Center. Named as one of the five "Best of the Best" private golf courses in Georgia by Georgia Golf News, Waterfall Club's mountain golf course features 18 holes designed by Scott Pool. On the signature second hole, golfers tee off at the top of a 215-foot cascading waterfall. The 52,000-square-foot Athletic Center includes a fitness center, heated Jr Olympic swimming pool, sauna, steam room, whirlpool and indoor sports courts for tennis, pickle ball, and basketball. The outdoor tennis court has the world’s best views from a tennis court!

An on-site concierge organizes activities and a full social calendar of events. The Waterfall Club also has a dock on the lake where club members may enjoy fishing, swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding and picnicking.  Pontoon boats are available for half or full day rental. Because Waterfall at Lake Burton is centrally located in the northeast Georgia mountain-lakes region, Atlanta, Asheville or Greenville can be reached by car in less than an hour and 50 minutes. Franklin, NC with its Smoky Mountain Music Hall is only a 45 minute drive and Athens, Ga with the Classic Center is only a 90 minute drive. Both venues offer consistently outstanding programs of concerts, entertainers and Broadway shows.

A recent comment from a resident: "Originally from Texas, my wife and I were looking for the ideal location to retire. This is never an easy choice for most retires as there are so many issues to consider. As the parents of five children and four grandchildren, we knew we could not live close to all of them, so we needed a place they would want to visit. To state it simply, our children and grandchildren love to visit Waterfall. Our view of Lake Burton, Waterfall golf course and the Blue Ridge Mountains are just stunning. A full four seasons is a new experience for us to enjoy. Summers with moderate temperatures find us outdoors exploring the many beauties that are accessible here and around Lake Burton. If you like to play golf, fish, drive beautiful roads, visit quaint towns and hillside vineyards or just throw yourself in the lake, Waterfall might just be for you."
